...Hey, Ikto..I can't picture it either, but I wanted to fit in and demanding a suit seemed like the thing to do...lol..I'd like to see more mainstream involvement in cryptozoology; lumping potential genuine flesh and blood animals in with paranormal silliness is not conducive to that development..Additionally, I have no interest in werewolves outside ofclassic Universal horror movies soI hope this blog leaves dogman to the dogman sites...EEG

"In the ancient world, and even later, when the number of sciences was smaller, when scientists were philosophers and encyclopedists, they well knew of the existence of wild hairy bipeds whom they called troglodytes, that is “cavemen”. One of such philosophers and lumenaries of natural history was Carolus Linneaus, the author of the terms Homo sapiens and Homo troglodytes. For the latter he also used the terms “silvestris” and “nocturnus”. Thus Linnaeus is the forefather of our direction of science. Anthropologists are still unaware of the remarkable historical fact that the central and pretentious term of anthropology – Homo sapiens – appeared in science just in contrast to Homo troglodytes, the Caveman, whose existence was known to naturalists of antiquity and the Middle Ages."- Dmitri Bayanov

"In April 1735, Linnaeus and Sohlberg set out for the Netherlands, with Linnaeus to take a doctoral degree in medicine at the University of Harderwijk. On the way, they stopped in Hamburg, where they met the mayor, who proudly showed them a wonder of nature which he possessed: the taxidermied remains of a seven-headed hydra. Linnaeus quickly discovered it was a fake: jaws and clawed feet from weasels and skins from snakes had been glued together. The provenance of the hydra suggested to Linnaeus it had been manufactured by monks to represent the Beast of Revelation. As much as this may have upset the mayor, Linnaeus made his observations public and the mayor's dreams of selling the hydra for an enormous sum were ruined. Fearing his wrath, Linnaeus and Sohlberg had to leave Hamburg quickly."https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Carl_Linnaeus&mobileaction=toggle_view_desktop#Publishing_of_Systema_Naturae

It appears the sensational has been bunched with the genuine for a very long time... Not to mention the requirement for debunking.
